Take it easy on the NOS,and have fun with it.
It comes a time that 2 much HP and torque cost more $ than what it's worth.
Theirs nothing wrong with a high 9-low 10 second car that you can drive anywhere.

It's still with Nick over at ARH being used to prototype parts. Should be done in a couple more weeks. We had it for 2 days amd my dad was using it then.

You're probably right. Ever since the nitrous it's been eating plugs and breaking.

I'm in a similar boat: hung around in Indy to get in one last run so I could win an extra $100. Hit it hard and broke the diff, then come home to find my EWP is leaking. So that $100 will cost me $5000 for a DSS 9".

I have the same question: build it stronger and better, only to go out, beat on it and break the next thing? It's not in my nature to not run hard, so it's a tough thought.

If you want to run deeper into the 9s I would do a combo that makes power easier instead of something being wrung out for every last pony. Swap a TT or Ysi on there and run mid/low 9s with ease instead of the maggie/n2o.

Yes log, no on the AFR. My father just asked the very same thing. Wouldn't have made any difference. By the time I saw anything bad it was to late.

You should have one.
My daily driver supercharged Avalanche has one,I log often,and that's the first thing I look at is the AFR.
But yes,when your running that much boost and NOS on top,things cam happens VERY quick.

Sucks to hear this. A few things I have learned on this crazy HP journey.....
For one thing, a dyno pull is nowhere near as hard on things as a full run. I have experienced where everything looks great on the dyno, and then on a full pass fuel pressure drops, temps are higher, afr's can get wacky. The best thing is to log full passes starting with easy runs and working to full throttle runs to make sure everything is good.
This season, I drove my car almost daily, with never any issue at all. Nothing... but every time I went to the track, I broke something. I am starting to consider keeping my car a fun 10 second driver, and maybe get something else just for the track if I get that bug next year. A dedicated track car can be put together with different considerations, and not be so sensitive.

Sorry to read this... Hopefully whatever you do next is less of a headache. I'm trying to piece together everything to supercharge mine and be safe. Of course it's no where near what your car was making.
